    One of the best steaks I’ve ever had, hands down the best value for money you will find in Dublin. 30€ 3 course meal left absolutely stuffed! Unlimited chips as well and garlic bread, staff were beyond lovely and so helpful, accommodating as well. Food came so quick, was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I cannot stress this enough, please go to try this place I promise you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be going there again!

    We had a lovely relaxing lunch for four people in Glover’s ally. From the moment we arrived, we were made at home and the service was impeccable. Any request was immediately provided. we enjoyed the food wine and the ambience. Maybe you could provide some more wines under €60 a bottle.
